New qualifying format approved already?!
#Wow, that was quick. Just the other day, I read about a proposal for a new format, and today, I read in the BBC Sports section that it had already been approved, despite objects from teams!
This format is going to create more problems if weather has a role to play. Imagine if the weather changes from the first cutoff and the second. And what about if the final qualifying time ends up being slower than one of the cutoff times (because of weather)?
It is not a good idea and we’ll see how the teams cope.
On the positive side, tire changes have been approved. That is a big deal.
